<p>My Dh is a case in point. He scored an 800 on his math SAT back in 1969, but majored in history. He does use math in his work, but he’s in a client facing occupation that rewards him for his general intellect and personal skills, not his math skills.
Both of my kids graduated with social science majors. They both have considerable math ability, too, but the interest in technical fields like engineering or CS just wasn’t there. I think they will do fine. They are both self-supporting- just not flush. It took their dad a few years to find his niche, but smart people usually find a way to support themselves, and they’re happier if they enjoy their work. I think mamabear has it right.</p>
